So when the Sun is first ignited, such that before this time there was no light at the Earth or any observer's eyes, are you saying that light will instantly materialize and come into existence inside the Earthbound observer's eyes at that moment? |
Exactly. But you have to understand why Spacemonkey. You're not getting it yet, so it sounds crazy because the light hasn't reached the eyes ACCORDING TO THE AFFERENT MODEL OF SIGHT. |
Can anyone summarize the First Law of Thermodynamics for me? Anyone? Bueller?
Aside from the problem that light is being created
ex nihilo, you'll note that if
peacegirl's claim is true, this would mean the Sun (and all other light-emitting objects) essentially produces an
infinite amount of energy.
